- Caring for your LifeBook Notebook
•
Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security
personnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid
problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as
possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Security officials may
require you to turn your notebook on, so make sure you have a charged battery on hand.

Caring for your Batteries
•
Always handle batteries carefully.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object).
Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal
objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
•
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery.
•
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas.
•
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten the life
of your battery.
•
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
•
Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
•
If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to
recharge the battery.
